🇵🇪 Peru Episode – TBH with VitraIn this episode of Travel Beyond Home, Vitra sits down with Lizeth for a candid look at life across Peru—from the city to the Andes to the Amazon. We talk about the everyday creativity Peruvians bring to work and home, why family sits at the center of life, and how communities support each other by sharing worries and sadness out loud—because talking it through together really helps.You’ll also hear how, even today, plants and leaves are a first-aid kit for many Peruvians (yes, ancestral knowledge is still very alive); what the Inti Raymi festival celebrates and why it still matters; and practical advice on staying safe and traveling respectfully—from markets and plazas to high-altitude villages.In this episode, we cover:City vs. Andes vs. Amazon: how daily life changes across PeruCommunity care: sharing emotions and showing up for each otherNature as medicine: leaves, plants, and living knowledgeInti Raymi: sun, ceremony, and cultural prideRespectful travel: small gestures that go a long wayWhy creativity + family are Peru’s everyday superpowersWatch the full conversation on Spotify/Youtube (best with faces & gestures.)Join the journey to talk to one woman from EVERY country on IG/YT/TT: @TBHwithVitra00:00 Introduction to TBH with Vitra05:26 Lightning Round: Fun Facts About Peru/Lizeth06:52 Ethnic Background and Cultural Identity09:12 Religion and Nature: A Cultural Blend11:04 Core Family Traditions in Peru12:24 Adapting Traditions in a Tech-Driven World13:26 Inti Raymi: The Biggest Festival in Peru15:04 Life in Peru: City, Mountains, and Rainforest20:07 Creativity in Adversity21:01 Culinary Traditions and Rituals22:09 Core Values and Mindset of Peruvians23:49 Peruvian Views on Success25:01 Emotional Expression in Peruvian Culture26:01 The Importance of Social Life27:17 Tourism and Safety in Peru29:08 Respecting Local Culture29:56 Experiencing Local Life29:59 Unique Aspects of Peruvian Culture30:19 The Significance of Coca Leaf32:58 Healing Practices in Peruvian Culture35:20 Until Next Time
